Motorcyclist draws the line against bicyclists | Transportation

Not all lane changes are legal, especially when it takes spray paint to make them.

A motorcyclist tried to turn bike lanes on Dexter Avenue north into motorcycle lanes by painting "motorcycles only" inside the lane in several locations around the 700 block of Dexter Avenue N.

A cyclist spotted the renegade paintings Monday night, but the change wasn't permanent. An SDOT worker covered it with grey paint this morning.

She said the motorcyclist had gotten a ticket for driving in the bicycle lane, so he returned and wrote "motorcycles only" on the lanes and took a photo of it to take to court.
